Product Description
This vintage Louis Vuitton shoulder strap in brown vachetta leather with brass snap hook hardware is presented in very good condition. Ideal for refreshing a favourite Louis Vuitton bag for daily wear, city outings or travel, it adds a classic vintage touch while offering a practical shoulder-carry option.
Q: What are the measurements of this strap? A: The listed measurements are approximately 100 cm in length, 1.5 cm in width and 0.5 cm in depth. Please compare these with your bag’s attachment points and your preferred carry length before purchasing.
Q: Will it fit my Louis Vuitton bag? A: It may, but fit varies by model. Compare your bag’s hardware, ring size, and the strap width and length with the measurements provided. It is most suitable for bags designed for a detachable strap.
Q: Can it be worn crossbody? A: Possibly, depending on the bag you attach it to and your height. At around 100 cm, many buyers will find it works best as a shoulder strap or a shorter crossbody fit rather than a long crossbody.
Q: Is the strap adjustable? A: No adjustment details are listed for this piece, so it is best treated as a fixed-length vintage strap unless otherwise confirmed.

Delivery & Returns
Q: Is this listing for a bag or the strap only? A: This listing is for the Louis Vuitton shoulder strap only. No bag is included.
Q: What are the measurements of this strap? A: The listed measurements are approximately 100 cm in length, 1.5 cm in width and 0.5 cm in depth. Please compare these with your bag’s attachment points and your preferred carry length before purchasing.
Q: How does the strap attach? A: It features snap hook closures with brass hardware. It is best suited to bags that already have compatible side rings or strap loops.
Q: Will it fit my Louis Vuitton bag? A: It may, but fit varies by model. Compare your bag’s hardware, ring size, and the strap width and length with the measurements provided. It is most suitable for bags designed for a detachable strap.
Q: Can it be worn crossbody? A: Possibly, depending on the bag you attach it to and your height. At around 100 cm, many buyers will find it works best as a shoulder strap or a shorter crossbody fit rather than a long crossbody.
Q: Is the strap adjustable? A: No adjustment details are listed for this piece, so it is best treated as a fixed-length vintage strap unless otherwise confirmed.
Q: Will the vachetta leather darken over time? A: Yes. Vachetta is a natural leather that develops a deeper honey-to-amber patina with age, handling, light exposure and everyday use. This is a normal characteristic of Louis Vuitton vachetta.
Q: Will the colour match my bag exactly? A: Not necessarily. Vintage vachetta ages differently from piece to piece, so the tone may be lighter or darker than your current bag. Please compare the photos carefully and expect natural variation.
Q: How should I care for this strap? A: Avoid water, oils, perfumes, creams, harsh cleaners and alcohol-based products. If it gets wet, blot it gently with a light-coloured absorbent cloth and let it dry naturally. Store it in a ventilated area away from direct heat and sunlight.
Q: What condition is this strap in? A: It is listed in very good vintage condition, with minor scuffs and scratches to the leather, light traces of use, and shiny hardware with light scratches.
